Chapter 132 How about a discount?
Zhao Shouzheng took it and saw the letter, and couldn't help but say happily: "It was the letter from my nephew. Has he settled in Beijing?"
"Father, just look at it myself." Zhao Hao looked at the scenery outside the window and felt that Jinling City was really a Feng Shui treasure land, which was prosperous, and it really flourished me... He was originally planning to spend some time to convince the magistrate. But this letter from Beijing made him no longer have to worry about it.
"Oh..." Zhao Shouzheng responded, pulled out the letter paper and read it, and immediately exclaimed: "What? Before he arrived in Shandong, he received the order and promoted to Taichang Shaoqing. Before he took office in Beijing, he was promoted to Guangluqing? How many levels have he been promoted in succession?!"
"From the seventh-rank censor to Guangluqing, he has been promoted to seven levels in a row." Zhao Hao replied with a smile.
Guangluqing was ranked among the Jiuqing, and he has become a third-rank court official, marking that Zhao Jin has officially entered the ranks of top officials.
This terrifying promotion speed has clearly told the Ming Dynasty that Zhao Jin was going to be used. The next step is to either join the Six Ministry as the Minister or release the governor of a province!
Moreover, Zhao Jin was promoted so quickly, it was obvious that those Guiren, especially Wang Bengu, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, made great efforts.
How could the officials who were idle in Nanjing’s Ministry of Revenue anger the dynasty for a small pawnshop owner?
"Oh, I thought my son had a clever plan again, so it turned out to be a pure bully." Zhao Shouzheng carefully put the letter in his mouth and said happily: "I can do this too."
"As a juren, it's better to avoid suspicion." Zhao Hao said with a glance: "Don't always run into the yamen, people will say you are taking charge of lawsuits."
"Oh, it makes sense. So I went to have a drink in the same year for my father." Zhao Shouzheng was a person who was more likely to have less things than to do more. He was so happy to be lazy when he heard this.
The carriage stopped by the road, Zhao Shouzheng got out of the car, got into his sedan, and headed towards the Qinhuai River.
Zhao Hao did what he said. On the day Zhao Shouzheng passed the imperial examination, he equipped him with a sedan chair and a sedan chair, plus an umbrella ship and Changsui, and four bodyguards, with a total of eight people following him. He was decent and safe, so there was no need to worry about Zhao Hao at all.
Huh? Are there eight people? Why do you always feel that there are fewer people...
Shangyuan County Government.
County Magistrate Zhang had no office today. He wore a brocade robe and was leaning on the Arhat bed, and closed his eyes slightly to enjoy the massage of concubine No. 1.
The second concubine held a purple clay pot and fed him tea from time to time.
The magistrate is enjoying the blessing of all people, and the annoying door is coming to chat again.
"Master, a customer has handed the post."
"Didn't you say that the master is uncomfortable today and will not see guests?" The concubine No. 1 said dissatisfied.
"Oh, our county magistrate Shangyuan is the life of a maid." County Magistrate Zhang raised his eyelids and signaled that the second concubine had taken the prayer letter to see who was the sacred person.
Now he is dizzy and the second concubine is still acting as secretary. She took the call and glanced at her, saying disdainfully: "It's just a prison student named Zhao Hao. You dare to bother the master!"
As she said that, she wanted to throw the visiting letter to the door.
But he saw Magistrate Zhang sitting up suddenly and caught the prayer letter flying in the air with both hands.
"It is not allowed to be used." County Magistrate Zhang held the letter of worship and carefully held it in his hand and said, "This prison student is not the prison student, but the kind of prison student who cannot be provoked."
"Is it Yinsheng?" The second concubine understood some official affairs and knew that the son of a high-ranking official could be enrolled in prison.
"It's almost the same." County Magistrate Zhang thought to himself that although he was not a high-ranking official, he was now a high-ranking official and could not afford to offend him. As he said that, he stood up and asked the door to invite Zhao Hao to use tea in the flower hall. He quickly changed his clothes and met the guests under the service of his concubine.
It was the last time that Zhao Hao came alone in the flower hall, but County Magistrate Zhang became more and more enthusiastic.
"Oh, what wind has blown my friend Zhao again." County Magistrate Zhang still had a pleasing look in his smile, and he obviously knew about Zhao Jin. "I have been planning to visit me these days, but I didn't expect that my friend Zhao came first. I'm so disrespectful."
"You are so polite, senior." Zhao Hao understood that the other party already knew about Zhao Jin when he saw his attitude.
Can County Magistrate Zhang not know? Zhao Jin was promoted to seven levels along the way, which was already a big news that shocked the government and the people. He was extremely glad that day he stopped and did not ruin his relationship with the Zhao family. Otherwise, at this time, Zhao Jin would have said hello to Wang Shaozhongzai, and he might have been transferred to Yunnan and Guizhou to be the magistrate...
I can't afford to offend, I really can't afford to offend.
After a flash of flattery, County Magistrate Zhang asked about Zhao Hao's purpose.
"Oh, I'm here to ask my parents to make the decision." Zhao Hao said, and then told Deheng about the matter, so he naturally hid the section on writing in cuttlefish juice.
"It's really outrageous. Is there any other way to the king?" County Magistrate Zhang slapped the table hard and said, "I dare to steal secret recipes blatantly. I see that his broken pawnshop has also opened up!"
As he said that, he called his friend to sign the ticket and ordered him to open the ticket card, send a servant to seize Dehengdang, and detained the official and Chaofeng to come for trial.
"Dongweng." The friend of the scene thought he had been cheating on his superiors again, so he had to whisper: "Junwai Zhang, like Mr. Liu, is a righteous official and cannot be arrested. Moreover, Deheng should have shares of the Southern Ministry of Revenue, and it cannot be seized."
"If I ask you to do it, you will do it!" Zhang Magistrate glared at him fiercely and said, "No matter what backstage he has, he cannot stop his official from making decisions for the people!"
When Muyou saw Dong Weng Yi’s righteous expression, he finally knew that he was doing a show. He cooperated and slapped himself in the face: “It’s the student who talks too much, I’ll go and issue a ticket to get people now!”
"Well, go, don't be scruples, the sky falls and the county is holding on." County Magistrate Zhang pretended to behave, and when the friend of the scene went down, he asked Zhao Hao, "I don't know what the result is for Zhao's friend?"
"This is clearly written on the ticket, and it will be compensated ten times according to the industry rules." Zhao Hao said lightly: "He originally priced 2,500 taels of silver, but now he has to pay me ten times, that is, twenty-five thousand taels of silver."
"This is probably a lot of difficulty..." Zhang Magistrate subconsciously rubbed his hands, but suddenly stopped and said, "You heard it just now. The surname of Zhang is from the sixth rank Guandai. Although he is a righteous official, I have to call him Shangguan when he is serious. Besides, he has a deep connection with the people from the Southern Ministry of Revenue. I heard that many officials are eating dry stocks in his pawn shop. I am really impatient. My friend Zhao and his son are afraid that they can't suppress him."
"I challenged me, does he have the strength?" Zhao Hao lifted the hem of the brocade robe with both hands and raised his legs.
This is something he has always wanted to say but is not qualified to say, and he can finally say it out loud at this moment.
"Of course, my friend Zhao's two students, one is Jie Yuan and the other is Ya Yuan, and they are both young masters. The relationship between Beijing and the people is also very strong. If you fight hard, Zhang Yuanwai will definitely not be able to fight." County Magistrate Zhang advised with great sincerity: "But as the saying goes, killing one thousand enemies will hurt yourself by 800. For a little bit of a fight, it is worth fighting to the death."
"What do old parents mean?" Zhao Hao asked with slightest.
"Of course, Brother Yu is looking at his friend Zhao, and he just advises you to give in a little, don't force him to jump over the wall." County Magistrate Zhang was afraid that Zhao Hao would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, and then suggested:
"How about giving him a discount?"
